Forex trading or currency trading is one of the most popular of a series of concepts in the business world today. It allows companies to operate throughout the world, because it eliminates limitations caused by different countries with different currencies. Many experts agree that the currency market is greater than any stock exchange with more liquidity.
The first thing to note in the forex market is currency prices. In currency market there are two prices which one should look for, namely the offer price and selling price. The second thing to note is that which thing doesn’t suit you, the merchant, but in favor of the corridor, because that’s how he makes his money. The price is what you pay if you want to buy that currency pair.
Take the GBP / USD as an example, say you have US dollars but you think that the pound will strengthen against the U.S. dollar, which means that the letter of the two currencies will go up to a graph. In trade, you will be buying the pound now at a lower rate (and by definition, the sale of U.S. dollars) so you can sell it later at your (hopefully) higher rate. And because the pound is the base currency and controls the direction of trade, to buy the pound means to buy the currency pair. Such a trade opening is called a long quotation position or long position.
Now, we take exactly the opposite: it is what you pay if you want to sell, or short the currency pair. Following the example of the GBP / USD, say you have GBP and you think that the U.S. dollar will strengthen against the pound, rather than vice versa. In this trade, you are buying the dollar now (and selling of the pound) to sell later. But remember, it is the base currency that controls the direction of trade. When you buy the currency cross, by definition, is selling the base, i.e. you are selling the currency pair instead of buying. So all signs are reversed, the graphics are placed on the chart and the price of currency pair decrease. But because you sold or shorted the currency pair instead of buying, you want the price drop, because the price of the base currency goes down while the price of the cross is rising. In our example, if short the GBP / USD, you receive a benefit if the price of the pair was down.
Now, calculating the number of points you earn in a short exchange is the same for a long operation. Ignore the purchase or sale price, and subtract the lowest number since the highest. The difference is the amount of your gain. Note, the price is always higher than supply. He has no choice but to buy high and sell low when trading in Forex market. Then the difference between supply and the question is called the expansion, and that is the amount of money that the agent takes as its commission. Yes, that’s all the rider has. Make your benefit in a large volume of transactions instead of huge commissions. Obviously, the smaller the spread, the money you get to stay out of what they do. Spreads are competitive among runners, keeping your margins small is a way to attract customers. And it extends between the most popular currency pairs are generally smaller than those of peers who are not as common on the stock exchange, which is one of the best reasons to keep the “big” as he calls them.
